Barry Looking forward to playing a heck of a lot of music in 2010. Posted at 4:31 PM Dec 22 view more
About me: The art of musical phrasing is my favourite science ( if you like ) and with much pleasure my text book which took a 12 year period of writing and 3 years of proof reading was the greatest experience I have had in playing drums for 50 years, in the year 2008.
My father Douglas, God bless him, said I could learn to play the drums as long as I was taught to read music, which I will always be grateful for as I would never have understood the language of phrasing music and it's building blocks.
My text book can be found at my book web site http://www.barryharvey.com
Have a read if you have time. Barry.
Who I'd like to meet: More music people who are in to the art of thinking , reading and writing their thoughts or musical ideas to the execution of re-producing those ideas into musical sound, regardless of which insrument they play or the voice.
My ultimate goal is to be with kind and gentle people so as to have a peaceful existence.
Now I feel it is the right time to thank you for your friendship and support in 2009. Still busy in studio, still working hard to get something we can call our own stile. The 30th of december last year it suddenly appear a lighting sceanery on heaven. Luckely I managed to grab a camera and save the image. It was almost like the creator came down in his greatness. With this photo I want to wish you and yours a merry christmas and a happy, new year full of posibilities and great moments. Peace, love and respect. Grandpa_Erik
Every day we are jumping from one task to another – looking at the watch as a guide. No wonder heart attack is one of the main causes to death. We forget to pause, to look around and to enjoy friendship and family. The world is beautiful – you only have to allow yourself to see it - to experience it. Look at the watch, painted by Jette – given the title “Time is relative”.
Finally the wait is over and our debut EP is available worldwide on iTunes. So if your budget allows just click on the link below and you'll be transported to that magical place called iTunes where you can purchase and download our EP. Please feel free to leave a review as well.

Wishing you a great weekend with some good music. Take care. Blues'on my friend. Grandpa_Erik
